Needless to say, it's not in Berlin, and even what's seen onscreen is waaaaay too modern for something that's supposed to exist in 1929 (even moreso as a derelict site in 1929). The structures seen haven't even been built until the 1960s!

I'm currently in the process of watching season 2 of Babylon Berlin, and there's a recurring setting of a "derelict industrial site" or whatever it's supposed to be on the show, and I easily recognize it as a place only a few minutes from where I live (it's actually a former ironworks site that's been turned into a public park).

Question for those of you living in exotic locations such as the US or the UK: If you watch a movie or a TV show that features a real-life location as a stand-in for someplace else, and you recognize the real-life location due to having been there in person, does that pull you out of the story?

Nothing like coming home after a long day to find a bird in the house. And then once you sit down for a well-earned rest after leading the bird back outside, you find it had a friend. A friend who *really* doesn't understand how windows work...

Just watched Both the Gandra Dee and Darkwing episodes. Gandra Dee was fun but kinda predictable, the Darkwing episode though. Damn they did great there, I really wasn't expecting it to go they way it did. Though I did expect the new guy to be Drake Mallard after his story to Launchpad, it felt reminiscent of what we seen of his childhood in the old show, a bullied kid that gets inspired by Darkwing (this time a show rather then his future self of course) to become a better person and a hero himself.

Now give us Gosalyn as part of Webby's band of friends.

Gosalyn is apparently coming, I expect we will see her modern character design at Comicon this year.

I loved the DW episode, it was fantastic.

Spoiler

Negaduck has potential to become a season arc villain here, maybe in Season 3.

Also, with Della back, Launchpad may not be able to fly for Scrooge as much, so he can hang out with Darkwing instead!

I kind of felt like the Darkwing episode was supposed to be a sort of backdoor pilot to a new spin-off series.

What's more is how, in the episode where Della first met Launchpad, she objected to his "replacing" her as Scrooge's pilot, and then the vault episode showed her to be back in the pilot's seat of the Sunchaser. With Della back and Drake Mallard here to fill in Jim Starling's shoes, I could see Launchpad leaving this show to go over to a new Darkwing Duck show, allowing Della to stay as Scrooge's new pilot without redundancy. Then, the two shows could make periodic crossovers with each other by having cast members from each guest star with each other a la the Arrowverse shows on the CW.

Though, this is something that I actually DON'T want to see happen, since I like this show being one all-encompassing show. I don't want to see them make a bunch of shared-universe spin-off shows because I like how this one show so far already has everything in it. Would I like to see more of Drake Mallard's Darkwing? Absolutely, but as a part of this show rather than his own. Make him a recurring character if not a new main character. Make his villains a part of this show's stories, like what they did with Don Karnage back in Season 1. I want them to keep everything within this one grand all-encompassing series rather than multiple separate-but-related ones.

I am thinking we will see Darkwing stick around on Ducktales at least for now. There is a lot they can do with him on the show, and well the way the episode ended, it really looked like seeds were being planted for a future plot line.

For the very fact alone Gizmoduck now will get a rival who is not an enemy. There is only so much they can keep on doing with Beaks right now in that role before it will get tiresome, however, with the stuff that was in the last episode....

Spoiler

A Beaks/Negaduck teamup could actually work very well, until Negaduck decides it is boring and he blows up Beak's company. I actually would LOVE to see that, though anything bad happening to Beaks is fun to watch.

After my recent re-watching of the original series, I'd say he was a fun character.

He certainly had more personality than Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby, and most (but NOT all) of his episodes were among the more interesting ones of the series.

My main issue with him was how the series never resolved his story, in that he's brought to the present day and stays there, but never gets sent back home (that is, after the first time he was sent back home in his five-part debut, from which he returned to the present), instead disappearing from the series altogether never to be acknowledged again.

I think the concept of being educated and being able to educate is something that more people need more of in their lives.

No, we don't all know everything but we should spread and share that what we do know.

If I'm consistently misspelling a word, I would want and expect people to correct me as should I imagine all decent people who know the value of good literacy.

Its just arrogant laziness to know you're spelling a word incorrectly and not correct yourself or ignore the advice when people do tell you how to spell a word correctly.

There are hardly that many post-Bubba episodes out there in the first place. I consider it safe to assume that he never goes back, and lives out the rest of his days in present-day Duckburg.

Really enjoyed the Darkwing episode. Other shows have done this plot but everything was perfectly balanced here, down to how the comedic violence the Darkwings suffer feels timed to the choreography of the old (original!) show, not this one.

I think it also shows why holding off Darkwing for season 2 is better since the plot here is a good humoured meta joke about Ducktales recasting everyone rather than bringing back existing VAs.
